Midna



well.... I was pleased with this earlier in the morning. It's night now and I hate it. XD Such dreary boring colours! Quick sketch of Midna from Zelda Twilight Princess in between uni work.

Marker Sketch 2




Just a quick sketch I did today. I tried to colour it in Photoshop using Adam Hugh's methods, but it wasn't very successful in my hands XD I love him to bits!
I'm still trying to find a colouring style that best suites me on photoshop. Sometimes it's overwhelming the stuff you can do and I feel lost. :/ I think I definitly like straightforward colour rather than how some people start off painting in greyscale. But then again traditionally I really love the look of greyscale markers. SO MUCH CHOICE! aahhh... just gotta keep practicing.

Not Dead... Yet



Ahoy there! Just a quick post to keep updated. I've been really really busy lately. The dummy book I previously posted about is finished. Not all the pages are in colour though, and lately I've been painting my finals for the Macmillian competition. I have to hand it all in next Friday so really nervous! I've been taking some photos of the finals step by step though to share. :)

After this I'm writing out my own short story which I hope to illustrate and self publish in time before uni closes, and there's a couple commissions that people want done. I would love to get back into some character designs, but I am also loving this childrens book!

So I'm not dead yet, but might be soon with all my uni work due after Easter Break *cough* what break? *cough*

Oh yeah, this sketch is Toothless from How to Train your Dragon, which is an amazing movie by the way so go check it out.

Dummy Book WIP





I'm trying out for the Macmillan Children's Book competition! :) I'm really excited about this, and am now working on the dummy book. These are just some photos of a spread I did the other day. A sneaky peak ;)

My story is a retelling of how Raven brought light to the world. It's a traditional tale from Alaska, but I've changed it around a lot. :)

Inky Time




I've been meaning to upload these for a while! The wolves were done as a background to Ronai Cover Star- entry for the ImagineFX competition. They looked really cool on their own though! The kid was painted for a uni project where I had to create book jackets for Neil Gaiman's 'The Graveyard Book.'
